Post subject: What's going on with Yahoo?
I can't get to Yahoo Mail at all. Keep getting "Lost Network Connection". Proxy is no help. Why are we being blocked???

Think they've GFW'd yahoo as part of the whole flickr thing? Seems a bit of a co-incidence otherwise

Looks like China is mad Evil or Very Mad at Yahoo.


Yahoo, subject of suit, scolds China on rights
From the Associated Press
June 12, 2007


HONG KONG — China should not punish people for expressing their political views on the Internet, Yahoo Inc. said Monday, a day after the mother of a Chinese reporter announced she was suing the U.S. company for helping officials imprison her son.

Yahoo criticized China in a brief statement that didn't mention the case of jailed journalist Shi Tao, whose mother visited Hong Kong on Sunday. Shi was sentenced to 10 years in 2005 after sending an e-mail about Chinese media restrictions.

The company has acknowledged sharing information about Shi with Chinese authorities.

"Yahoo is dismayed that citizens in China have been imprisoned for expressing their political views on the Internet," the company said in the statement.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo also said it had told China that it condemned "punishment of any activity internationally recognized as free expression."

However, Yahoo added that companies operating in China must comply with Chinese law or risk having their employees face civil or criminal penalties.

Shi was writing for the financial publication Contemporary Business News when he circulated an e-mail with his notes on a government circular about media restrictions. He was convicted of leaking state secrets.

Shi's legal challenge, filed May 29 in U.S. District Court, is part of a lawsuit filed earlier by the World Organization for Human Rights USA. The group is suing Yahoo and its subsidiary in Hong Kong. Also named is Alibaba.com Inc., a Yahoo partner that runs Yahoo China.

On Sunday in Hong Kong, Shi's mother, Gao Qingsheng, insisted that her son was innocent and the family would press ahead with the legal action.

I can't even get to stupidcensorship.com.

Bets on how long China will hold this grudge against Yahoo? I bet 1/2 a week.

Want to report that the TOR tool, used with Firefox (with Torbutton plug-in) is working beautifully. I hope I didn't just jinx myself Smile

don't use tor or some proxy sites for your emails and other important things. Many of them collect passwords and identities.
